The family is settled in Karachi.

Karim Khan was my batchmate at Petaro. He was a prominent member of the College Band, and the main drummer. He was always visible from afar. It was quite amazing that when we met at our first reunion of the 1964 entry at Petaro in 2001, he was as good at drumming as ever.

After leaving Petaro, Karim completed his DAE diploma in Mechanical Engineering from Karachi Polytechnic in 1973.

Karim Khan belongs to a business family. He has been involved in different businesses for sales, manpower export, etc. In the past, he had a manpower supply agency under the name of Princely Enterprises. At present he has his own trading business called KAS International.

He has been a very prominent and active member of the Petarian Association. He has served the Association in different positions in the Managing Committee since its very inception.
